Granted I have no idea what I’m talking about, but I remember one of my nephews showing me a Megatron he wanted and it transformed into a tank like vehicle and that clip right there sort of looked like it was transforming into a tank like vehicle.

But hey, let’s not get our hopes up. Michael Bay pretty much lied to the fans faces when it came to what he was going to do with Transformers 3 (“no more comedy, more dark, more character development”) and look at what happened…

Looks like Prime gets blasted, captured, but you know what they say u can’t keep a good PRIME down. Seriously hope Prime doesn’t die again. If they are going to do that, have Prime die in the last Transformers film with the Autobots winning the final battle and Prime passing the Matrix to Hot Rod before he dies.

Trademark issues, car companies, a number of causes why this is so. It’s just like how they changed Trailbreaker’s name to Trailcutter and how Mirage was called Dino in TF3. They also have to but the faction of character before their name (e.g. Ratchet is called “Autobot Ratchet” on toys.)

Well, they were going to call Swoop ‘Divebomb’ instead way back during the 80’s when dinobots ruled the Earth, but changed it, so it wouldn’t be the first time. I at first thought the two headed dragon was going to be an ode to Hun-Gurrr, but whatev’.

Agreed. At least we suffer together, lol =). I probably can’t make myself not see it, so I just hope it isn’t crappy crap. Thumbs up for Marky Mark and his entourage. The robots look better, more solid, the action as well. Think I’ll refrain from seeing any more footage until it comes out. This gave away far too much with respect to Optimus storyline. Thumbs down for that. I’ll watch it for the visuals alone I think.

Now that I’ve watched it about 20 times and the initial excitement has worn off, I realise a lot of the scenes look familiar. The one where the humans are running in between explosions looks like the desert scene at the end of ROTF and the bumblebee shot and green transformer wouldn’t look out of place in DOTM. The ‘car splitting’ shot rings a bell too. But who really cares…DINOBOTS!!

people know what they are getting outta these movies. why do you think they get so much money? the movie is mindless fun. if someone wants to watch a movie about slaves or a true story about pirates they will see those… PEOPLE LIKE EXPLOSIONS! PEOPLE GO TO THE CINEMA TO ESCAPE. THEY DONE WANNA THINK ABOUT THE WORLD AND HOW WE EFFECT IT… WE WANNA JUST HAVE SOME FUN -_-

OR.. Most of America has ADHD, and a plot with complexity and dynamic storytelling just can’t keep their attention. You need things like EXPLOSIONS and CHEESY ONE-SCENES to keep the attention of the increasingly low mental capacity of Americans. Just a theory.

Meh, still opinions. Many people believe in God; doesn’t mean the Big Guy is real (not saying He is or isn’t, I’m just using this as an example). If I’m ignorant for liking something that you and everyone else don’t then so be it.

Why is god heavy handed? How would Coke/Pepsi be an alternative? At least you can prove they are real.

LMAO, no matter what, THAT’s funny! The sad thing is, that it’s rather true. I’ve wathced the movies primarily because I naively hope they are good. Like a few TV-shows that are currently running. And yes my ‘child-brain’ enjoyed them very much. Though I never paied to see DOTM.

I’m not asking for Transformers to be complex or meaningful, but it must have me emotionally engaged. The first film did it well-it was an average 3/5 stars and it blended the humans’ stories with the robots well. ROTF was just loud and annoying from start to finish. I’d much like a film that at least blends action (which ILM seem to be great at, yet again) and emotion at the same time. You know, like Batman Begins.Sure, idiots might want pure action and no food-for-thought, but is it too much not to ask for both?

Why do people complain about the Transformers movies? They are based off of something that had zero depth when it came to a “human” story, so why would you expect them to be Oscar worthy on the human side of things? Every single TF’s flick kicked ass when it came to the Transformers themselves, their story worked for a modern take on the lore. Does anyone even remember how cheesy Transformers actually was? Seriously, if you want a spot on adaptation then you’ve already got it. Cheesy story with EPIC unforgettable giant robots blasting the sh*t out one another. I for one will thoroughly enjoy this movie, for what it is, Peter Cullen as Prime and bunch of over the top, visually amazing giant robot fights.

One shall stand. One shall fall……

Oh, and that was totally Galvatron at the start, not to mention Unicron behind him.

‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’ Super Bowl Trailer

The Transformers movie series has seen plenty of outrage from the fan community (from Optimus Prime’s controversial flame detailing to criticisms of the film’s adolescent humor); yet, the franchise remains one of the most profitable trilogies in film history – grossing over $2.7 billion in ticket sales worldwide. Of course, that total doesn’t include the highly-profitable merchandising that goes along with each film entry – toys, costumes, and clothes (among others) that have lined the pockets of Paramount Pictures and Hasbro for half a decade.

Despite the size of Bay’s 3D blockbuster production, we know surprisingly little about Age of Extinction – save for the human and Cybertronian characters that will be included in the film. Considering there’s less than five months before the film hits theaters, and this brief teaser is the only official footage out there, it’s safe to say that Paramount Pictures has some major reveals in the pipeline – especially now that leaked merchandise images have provided a few choice hints on what to expect.

In addition to revamping the core franchise framework, Age of Extinction is intended to establish an all new set of films (to be helmed by other directors) and significantly expand the mythology – with a possibility that, by the end, the series could even tackle cosmic foes like Planet Eater, Unicron. Still, in spite of many exciting possibilities, the most anticipated element of Transformers: Age of Extinction is the confirmed inclusion of fan-favorite Autobot team, The Dinobots.

Leaked merchandising images gave us our first (cartoonish) glimpse at the Grimlock design, but now that the film’s trailer is out – with the release of the Super Bowl teaser – fans will no doubt be especially excited to see the raging T-Rex (ridden by Optimus Prime).

We’ll have to wait for the full trailer to get a better idea of the actual storyline but it looks as though Bay might actually deliver a movie that’s even bigger and more exciting than Dark of the Moon.
